[SPIKE] Look into disparity between Datadog and Google Analytics #90514

Closed digitaldrk closed 3 days ago

digitaldrk commented 1 month ago

During our backend sync, we discussed Datadog numbers vs. Google analytics numbers. There is a vast difference between the 2 systems.

We'd like to look into the numbers and see if we can gain an understanding between the volume we see in Datadog and the numbers we see in google analytics. This may necessitate going to google analytics office hours and/or talking to platform about how they track volume.

This is rolling over because we had a ton of unplanned work this sprint.

I will not be able to hustle this out because I likely need to join office hours for google analytics and I need to prep for meetings for this initiative.

Marking blocked for now until I can get the analytics team the info they need.

I'm DM'ing with Steve Albers. He's provided some good Datadog queries that I can work with and change to get more info.

This is not rolling over. I am though, going to run this to the end of the sprint since I keep getting good info.

Feel free to correct my course if you'd like.
